To the Pumpkin Patch!

Adam and I spent an enjoyable time picking out some pumpkins today. :) We didn't know where the closest pumpkin patch was, so, thank you Google, for helping us find one that didn't charge an entrance fee and was a new experience for the both of us. I had only been to pumpkin farms where the pumpkins had already been picked and were laying in piles. At this Pumpkin Patch, they gave you a wagon/wheelbarrow and a pair of cutters. We got to wheel along and, when we found a suitable pumpkin, cut it straight from the vine. Pretty darn cool!

Here are some of the giant pumpkins:





Among the pumpkins:






See the bolt clippers! Yikes!



Walking with the wagon:


Some beautiful views of the Pumpkin Patch. :) There were so many different types of pumpkins; it was truly amazing. The first view is of the castle, the play-area for the kiddies. Although we didn't go in it, it was fun to see.





What a fabulous day!

I'll post pictures of our carvings of the pumpkins when we do carve them. Cheers!!

  1. Have you seen how big some of those vines are?? You need bolt cutters. Matt usually takes a small knife with us when we go to the pumpkin patch. Looks like you had a great day and beautiful weather!
